Overview
Bonaventure’s Founder, CEO and CIO Dwight Dunton was featured in ApartmentBuildings.com in the article The Reality Behind 2025’s Multifamily Rent Growth, offering perspective on national rent trends as the sector finished the year. The piece highlights how overall apartment rent growth in 2025 was minimal compared to the rapid gains seen in the post-COVID period, with several industry data sources showing only modest or flat year-over-year increases. Dunton explained that this outcome reflects normalization after a strong run, rather than a dramatic downturn, and that rent growth expectations should be grounded in long-term trends and regional differences. His insight helped frame the broader narrative that 2025 was a year of stabilization with varying performance across markets, setting the stage for multifamily fundamentals as 2026 unfolds.
